Microsatellite and allozyme analyses reveal few genetic differences among spatially distinct aggregations of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta, Conrad 1849)
(2004-12)
The genetic population structure of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta) in inland waters of
Washington may affect fishery management and aquacultural practices involving this species. To
investigate genetic differentiation ...
Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness
(2008-08)
Interbreeding between artificially-selected and wild organisms can have negative fitness
consequences for the latter. In the Northwest Atlantic, farmed Atlantic salmon recurrently escape
into the wild and enter rivers ...
Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness
(2008-08)
Interbreeding between artificially-selected and wild organisms can have negative fitness
consequences for the latter. In the Northwest Atlantic, farmed Atlantic salmon recurrently escape
into the wild and enter rivers where ...
Non-linear genetic isolation by distance: implications for dispersal estimation in anadromous and marine fish populations
(2007)
Indirect genetic approaches such as those based on the association between genetic and
geographic distance (isolation by distance, IBD) may provide one of the best means of estimating
dispersal in marine systems. We ...
Otolith elemental composition and adult tagging reveal spawning site fidelity and estuarine dependency in rainbow smelt
(2008)
Observations of homing and straying in marine organisms based on traditional Eulerian approaches
may fail to resolve dispersal kernels or be unable to differentiate homing from invariant local
residency, The roles of ...
Synchronized hatch and its ecological significance in rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax in St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland
(2004-11)
Early life history stages in most marine animals are subject to high mortality through
predation, starvation, and dispersal. Accordingly, the potential exists for the selection of
behavioral mechanisms that reduce ...
Identifying Canadian Freshwater Fishes through DNA Barcodes
(2008-06)
Background: DNA barcoding aims to provide an efficient method for species-level identifications
using an array of species specific molecular tags derived from the 59 region of the mitochondrial
cytochrome c oxidase I ...
